Smothered Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes {CROCK POT Style}

If you haven’t noticed, I love a crock pot! This has by far been one of my favorite recipe combos! I recently bought my second crock pot. I wanted to be able to cook multiple things and have the whole meal ready when I got home from work! This was my first try and it turned out p e r f e c t!!

This meal was so southern and filling.

First, the pork chops and gravy!

Whisk the seasonings and other gravy ingredients first in the crock pot.

I got a thicker cut pork chop because I let them cook 8 hours {low}. I seasoned them with very little garlic salt. I added them to the pot and after cooking low and slow all day this was what they looked like when I got home. They smelled heavenly.

I love a thicker gravy so I made a quick rue and the gravy thickened up nicely. It didn’t take long at all.

Now for the mashed potatoes. It looked like I was cooking for an army. These were so delicious, homemade and hearty.

The original recipe called for 5 lbs. of potatoes, peeled. I peeled half of them. It was much quicker and I like the texture it gives the mashed potatoes in the end.

Some wat-uh, some butt-uh, salt and pepp-uh!

Mhmm good.

Then it gets really good, more butt-uh and the glorious cream cheese!

Creamy, yummy, mashed potatoes are on my top 5 favorite side dishes. Just sayin’

This was the finished result. There was nothing left on our plates after dinner. It was delicious! This would be great for a week night, big Sunday lunch after church or family dinner! Hope you enjoy!
